The Navy Seals live by this motto!
In other words, love the pain, invite the pain, ask for more!
We all have fear – we’re human, not robots. It can drive you to excellence, but you must first stand up to it and be ready to fight. I grew up afraid of failure and anything that was uncomfortable or unfamiliar, but made a conscious decision as an adult to fight back.
When will you get sick of allowing fear to dominate your decisions? Choose NOW … no more!

This is a text a student sent me, frustrated with the beginning of his professional athletic career. He’s realizing the struggle and pain needed to endure isn’t a dream – it’s real, and is what separates the ones who make it from the ones who talk about what if …
Whatever your situation, know that your struggle is temporary, but it will test your commitment and dedication to the process!
This was sent to me by an up-and-coming star I’m blessed to work with. She’s young, hungry, and learning what it means to sacrifice. She’s having a difficult time seeing herself in the future, focusing on why she’s working so hard today. I’m constantly challenging her to lose her sight, and gain vision!
“One year ago I almost quit, and on top of that, my mom had almost pulled the plug until I decided that I’m not a quitter – that I’m not going to let someone in my life control who I am or what I want to be. Now, I’m playing national tournaments and I’m the best! I play with passion and emotion towards every shot I hit – not just every other shot or point, but every single shot!
Having my mental game improve and learning how to handle this, gave me a huge advantage in how I present myself and how I use it to break my opponents, crushing them every time we compete. I don’t just go out their to win, I go out there to show that I’m going to be the 1% that can complete their guarantees! Even though I don’t win every match, I go out there and put forth everything I’ve got until my arms and legs fall off – and that won’t even stop me.
This is what I look like – nothing or no one will break me to be the best at anything I do!”

I was buying coffee from this woman, when I noticed something on her arm. When I asked to see her tattoo, she showed me these!
“Before courage, there’s fear!”
The majority want to be fearless, but don’t want to battle through the fear to get there. What I’ve learned living years in the shadow of fear … courage becomes much sweeter on the other side.
You’re human, you’ll feel fear, but know it’s a CHOICE. Choose courage, instead!
When you accept STRUGGLE as inevitable and mandatory, the process becomes more fluid. The tug-o-war between your obstacles and destination disappear.
It’s not supposed to easy, it’s meant to test your every fiber of passion and willingness to keep fighting.
You’ll ultimately be defined by the amount of struggle you endure!
Congratulations to Luc, who’s been named one of the nation’s top rising class of 2015 football players by PrepStar, being featured in this preseason’s issue. Just months ago, when we began working together, he was fighting his belief system, just “hoping” to make ANY football team in college, at any level. Now, he’s focused his guarantees on top DI programs …and he’s only finishing his sophomore year. He’s going to be a beast by his senior season!
This magazine is subscribed to by all major Division I programs in the country, featured seven Heisman Trophy winners, 18,000 DI players, and currently 300 NFL players. To say the least, this is a huge honor and confidence builder for Luc.
Our next step is keeping the fire lit, helping him INCREASE his hunger, now that he’s been nationally recognized. He’s been waking up before 6:00 most mornings to master his craft, but will now need to make it every morning. He understands in order to separate from the other “top DI prospects,” he must do what they’re unwilling to do.
SEPARATE FROM THE PACK. 1% Mindset Only!
